Chapter 2 : New classmate

 "Come on Solar ,another minute and we are really going to be late ." Javier started to pace up as he said to Solar indicating him to do so too.

 It was almost time for classes to start , no students are allowed to be late , they were truly held up by the queue and the events of the morning. Solar thought what occasion it would be , that his mother would be escape her room for , every time it seems to be something more of something she heard that had sipped through the walls of the House of the Earl or his daughter ,the duchess of Watsom. There was something wrong with his identity, he should not be where he is right now , lowly and secretive .

 Solar already knew that he was from a noble family , but worst related to the Earl . That emerald eyes were always a trait of the Garbertons family of Lowan . His mother possesses the very same color in her eyes , and so does Dalphe , it seems that even commoners get to possess traits of the nobles . 

 There was no commotion of the seating , he can only stand for the rest of the day for the lessons , how can he be considered if there was someone higher than him in that position. After lesson Solar and Javier went to the storage room to pull one set of desk and chair back to the classroom. 

 When they returned to the classroom, that new classmate was still there smiling at him . He had notice this Blonde hair with the eyes so similar to his own . He was shock to see that there was others that possess the same eye color as him in class , more so when the traits can only be pass down by blood .

"I find that we do need to make some proper introductions, my name is Colin Landor Garberton, the next in line to the earl of Lowan. Nice to meet you ..." His smile was rather smirky , feeling of trying to press Solar to tell him his identity.

 "Solar Anton , nice to meet you ." he replied, place down the table and walked away.

 Colin was shock with his reply , he was given a cold shoulder, by a commoners , other than his family no one has every done this too him, the earl and the countess are always busy , his sister 24 years older than him is busy with her family as duchess of Watsom , there is no one other then them that dared to treat him like that until Solar.

 This made him even more interested in Solar Anton, his emerald eyes , and his real identity . And the secret of his birth right starts to bother him more .

 Colin came to class the next day with dark eye bags , it was clear something was keeping him up the night, it was also clear that he suspects his identity. Was he his father's illegitimate son or was results of his uncle over extensive flirting with every lady in town.

 Solar's smile was similar to someone , just that he does not know who. Not that Colin can't recall, he just came back after 2 years at the capital , he has not seen any one since his return not the earl not his mother. And his sister and her husband , was still wisped in the capital, have no intentions of coming over to Lowan .

Colin knew that his father is no loyal husband , neither was his uncle just that his uncle was never wed and so never say he was anyone's husband to began with. It was frustrating to him , he wanted answers but if he started an investigation , his action will be be know by his father and if so it will drag down his commoner classmate.

 He cannot focus in class especially when the question was tuning in his head. Maybe if he ask Solar ,he will get an answer. 

 "So where are you from, answer it honestly or I'll make sure you never get to study here ever again" Colin pulled Solar to a corner and asked . He was sure to blackmail him with something he cared so much , example a position in this school. With a straight face Solar replied "Can't you just look up into the files at the office , us commoners don't really have much privacy around the school you know , but you seriously wanna know I am the son of an apothecary ,that is all , we live at Huston street , down the street of the school actually ."

 Solar has bright blonde hair like Mrs. Anton, so most would not suspect that he is not their biological son . Most actually thought that Solar was blood bonded to the Antons , with how the Anton couple treated the boy no one would suspect that it was other wise .

Colin barely bought his story, emerald green eyes are not common outside his family. But which noble will care about what color a commoner's eyes were, they are commoners after all ;Low-life commoners that can't be compared to the noble blood of theirs. Solar's answer did not answer his question. 

He checked the files and it matches what Solar had told him but there was one more information given, he had a job at the Rosali House seems like his information was actually investigated by the school too . But it was semi- wrong , Solar worked there as an apothecary was what was written in there. He indeed does some medical advisory for the courtesans what that was all he does .

 Solar spends his off days from school at the House to look after his mother which was still quite hostile to him whenever she could be well enough to stand or she would be in bed laying there staring into space. 

 Well he is an apothecary at the Brothel , while Colin thought he might personally just go down to Rosali Houses just to continue his research into this so called illegitimate brother or cousin of his. 

 Colin was on his on the carriage back on the last day before the off days of school, he stopped by the apothecary to find it not open .Solar also stroll passed the apothecary , alone the turned away from the door , turning to the other street , and disappeared . It was quite funny that the apothecary's son does not return to his home after a long day at school . It was eventful even Colin himself was famished from the lessons . He decide to put forward his research at the Rosali early tomorrow.

Colin was determined to find out who or what Solar was , another night unable to sleep for him. 

 Solar was pretending to be mentally stable when Colin spurted that he wanted to know who he is , what was he to say , his illegitimate son of his brother-in-law. He was scared that if his true identity was to be know he will die a gruesome dead , as to erase what dirt the Garbertons had . He was thinking what was so distinguish about him that he will be so easily recognize by Colin Landor Garberton. All night through he was in thought , through the snored of the male attendants. He was different from other man , other man was like manly , but he was feminine, he had a beauty that no man had .

 He had probably lost in being a man, but if he was a woman he might have a chance with his tall nose bridge, large emerald eyes and blonde hair that lay lying on his shoulders if he did not bother to tie it . But he was indeed a male body .
